How to Save Money at JH ANIMAL HOSPITAL
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

We loved our visit here, the Vet and nurses were amazing. They all took time to help Rocket and helped us identify the issue with him . Prices were great and we didn’t have any issues after, Rocket was better after he took meds . Parking was great .

The pulled seven of my dog’s teeth without informing me. They told me I signed a document authorizing them to do so. They couldn’t find it because they never had me sign such a document. Which makes sense because they never told me that they would pull that many teeth without a phone call. I switch vets and now they refuse to email me my dog’s records. Every time I call them, I provide my email and I am told it will be emailed tomorrow. Now I call them at 2:20pm and I keep receiving a message that they are on lunch break from 1-2. I’ll update my ratings if I ever get my pet’s extensive vaccination records. Until then, they appear either vindictive or poorly managed, either way, one star. Update: I called and a male answered the phone. He immediately sent me the records. I updated my rating to three stars.

First time here and I really liked the care the vet had for my pup. I didn't feel pressured or embarrassed when I wasn't able to do all the recommended treatments. Instead I felt like they understood that vet care can get pricey and were helpful in understanding what treatments would be the most important to focus on first. Hoping to save up the money to get my pup the care he needs.

This vet tried to do a bate and switch on the price. I agreed to some services which I signed for $351.00 after I signed it then the tech had another estimate underneath with additional services that I didn’t want done for $541.00 & when I wouldn’t agree to the additional services they said they wouldn’t do anything at all and was going to charge me $45.00 and the vet never even examined my pet or took her out of the carrier. Then when I wanted the invoice shredded the tech tore off my signature only. I was furious and took all the invoices with me. Be careful this place only wants money not quality of care for your pet.
